lol its no contest all canelo has done is beat bigger named welteweights he has never faced anyone who had 10% of the power david has
I would have to give the edge to Lemieux. However, I doubt if we will see El Pollo come near Lemieux or Golovkin period!
Canelo is a well-rounded natural counter puncher with a tight defense, great combinations and good pop. Lemieux has great power but at the end of the day he's a guy who loads up on his shots and leaves himself open to counters. Think about it.
Canelo has done great when outweighing his opponents by a good deal. How will he do against a true 160 guy with tremendous power? Not very well I think. That said PHLLA ^ has a point, Canelo is a good counterpuncher so he could still do OK. I'd say 60-40 to Lemieux.
Canelo is a top top Boxer, better than sloppy Curtis Stevens. But there is a reason why Oscar has kept him away from Middleweights.
Tough fight to call. We don't have a ton of information on how Canelo would deal with someone with Lem's power. I'm sure it would be a fun fight and one I would love to see, but with the way Canelo is being managed right now and with how much GBP relies on him to make money I doubt we will see this fight.
